I want to buy a new additional drive. I have always used Maxtor in the past. They seem a bit noisy, but reliability has been good so far. I also have used a Western Digital drive but it was even noisier than the Maxtors. Plus, the device I had it on burned out shortly after I installed it (maybe just a coincidence, but I don't know). Anyone care to recommend either of these or maybe some other brand?
I prefer, for IDE or SATA, Seagate, IBM, and Maxtor....in that order. I have no use for Western Digital.

You might want to check THG http://www6.tomshardware.com/storage/20050317/seagate-05.html Currently i'm using two WD. These were tree years ago tested as best, except for the noise. Has been "on" for 24/7/365. Never a problem, which i can't say for the bunch of seagates and Ibm's that were hooked on my workstation. Hans
